This device is genuine Digital Logic product, 100% designed, produced and programmed at company premises located in Serbia, Europe. All models of uFR Series are using the same API and are totally compatible and interoperable in common set of functions.

GOAL

This RFID Device is primarily intended for developing companies and individuals (professionals and hobbyist) for further application and turnkey solutions development. For that reason it comes with fully featured package, which includes firmware, libraries, examples and documentation for various platforms, operating systems and developing environments. Regular upgrades (including firmware, libraries and API) are launched often and can be obtained by company’s website for FREE. All products have extended „Three year” warranty.

All mentioned facts combined with free extensive and fast responsive support give this product an outstanding position in this industry sector.

This NFC RFID device also has built in Crypto1® algorithm and secure non-volatile internal key memory storage for better security. Communication with the host is provided by using USB 2.0 Full Speed compatible interface. Data transfer rates are limited from 9600 baud to 1 Mbaud, for integrity and security reasons. This NFC RFID Reader can also act as a serial interface device using FTDI’s Virtual COM port (VCP) drivers.

THIS RFID MODEL IS ALSO AVAILABLE AS OEM PCB BOARD.

The reader can also act as a serial interface device using FTDI’s Virtual COM port (VCP) drivers.

Audible (speaker) and 2 LEDs visible indicators are built in and absolutely user controllable.

Main differences compared to uFR Classic NFC RFID reader writer are:

an addition of RTC (Real Time Clock), which provides always accurate time to prevent fake logs and time stamps

user configurable, password protected part of EEPROM, which is convenient for storing sensitive data, like license keys or similar.

FIRMWARE

Since the hardware is based on MCU platform, it runs on company developed custom firmware. Communication between host and reader is provided through high-speed direct access FTDI chip features.

At core communication level device uses company developed, proprietary communication protocol, which is well documented in API reference.

Firmware has a lot of built-in complex functions which can be called via libraries provided in API. Most of the functions are written to make „life easier”, like:

Multiple NFC RFID readers on same host support

Whole set of commands for MIFARE Classic® card manipulation according to manufacturer’s specification

AES128 “on fly” hardware encryption built-in, which is the most important when working with complex DESFire security keys and cards

AES128 encryption of files and keys in DESFire cards

MIFARE Plus support

MIFARE Ultralight C support

APDU command structure support where applicable (ISO14443-4 layer)

Asynchronous sending of card UID from reader to host COM port when card is present; feature is user programmable

DateTime RTC functions, time setting is password protected

User EEPROM area, free for reading, password protected writing

and much more…

The main point about firmware is that all firmware functions can be called via the communication protocol, too.

That fact moves usage of this device into another dimension, meaning that this reader can be used on almost any platform which has a serial interface, by simply using communication protocol. So it can be freely used on PC, tablet, smart phone, embedded systems, Raspberry Pi, Beagle Board, MIPS boards, PLCs, Arduino and other platforms.

Firmware is regularly updated with new versions which include new features, improvements, and bug-fixes while preserving backward compatibility with older versions. That means your code is safe, there is no need for changes when the new firmware comes out. All firmware upgrades are totally FREE and can be obtained through download section of company’s website.

Software development kit package

This NFC RFID reader writer comes with a fully featured Software development kit which consists of external libraries, examples with source codes, documentation about API reference and communication protocol and some useful software tools.

Libraries are cross-compiled for various platforms and regularly supported are Windows x86/x64 and UWP, Linux x86/x64, Mac OSX x64, ARM/ARM HF and Arduino. Other platforms can be supported as custom release, on customers demand, depending on existence of project or partnership relation.

Examples are divided in three stages according to complexity, with some new additions of NFC examples.

All examples are written for all major developing platforms and languages, like:

Java (and Java Applet example),

JavaScript (unique feature, convenient for PHP usage),

Lazarus,

Borland Delphi,

C++ Borland Builder,

Microsoft® Visual.NET family: C++, C#, VB

Python

Arduino IDE examples

Other programming languages examples can be obtained on customer demand, depending on the existence of project or partnership relation.

Package includes set of very useful applications intended for everyday use, like:

Application for programming and manipulation of NFC compliant cards like NTAG and MIFARE Ultralight®, with source code, included.

Documentation contains fully explained API reference and communication protocol reference with real “hands-on” byte level examples for implementing communication protocol. However, API is much more comfortable and recommended way of implementation. Where not possible, implementation of communication protocol is very good alternative.

All libraries, examples, tools and documents are regularly updated. They are totally FREE and can be obtained through download section of company’s website.

Package includes set of very useful applications intended for everyday use, like:

We can also provide custom solutions based on each customer’s needs, so please free to contact us for any question or further help regarding your projects and implementation.
